Filey 2017

Just a lovely little place to write down my memory's of the summer of 2017. All alterations to the panels, text and images are for copyright purposes.

Hey dude, I think we just met an angel.

Further into out intoxicating career new levels of high were being achieved. 2-cb was the new chemical Michael had introduced and after a test run nexus flipping and a spilt personally later we were ready to test it on the streets. We popped the red printed drug and took to the cliff tops. The golden hour at hand and the clouds forming in our imaginations. It was perfect, a perfect introduction into the uncharted territory of the psychodelic relm.

Upon getting back into town we decided to walk back along the beach front, this time deciding to go a percular green nature ridden looking path down a set of stairs. Stopping for a breath resting on the steps the angel descended. By the name Chelsea, she was gorgeous, a perfect representation of a 21st century angel, ruined and crushed by her past, yet a guiding light for our trip. We followed her like the north star to a place that would be know further more as the Chelsea Spot. There we chatter for hours of hardship, relations and family. Chelsea ticking every box for a perfect woman. Kind, synaptic, relatable, dark, moral and humorous. In that moment she was perfect.

After a walk home and a hug that ruined all others we parted with her. Mike said he saw her once more after that. I believe she disappeared into the psychedelic bliss.

And fuck our current pot wash at the coffee cup.

Hey bro, I left my wallet.

Like hunting dogs given a scent, Michael and I were on the prowl for all things intoxicating. And I had a lead, MC Loone. Safe to say I had not been a great friend to Robbie before this point, but he had connections, reputation and a phone number. I arranged to meet him in the next town over. Brid. The east coast capital of no where, a tramps holiday hoorah.

After meeting Robbie under the pretence of catching up, my motives became clear, I wanted some of that good green. I found Robbie's reaction disturbingly natural, with one phone call and a few selected words he had a plan in action. All I need do now was hand the money over and be on my merry way. But with my wallet sitting on the desk over in Filey, little over 7 miles away, that was a difficult option.

It was half past two and Mike would be finishing work soon to return to the flat. After promise to pay for his ticket Mike was Brid bound for the first time and I was heading to the train station to greet him. No one had offered to walk to the train station with me. But seeing I was alone Cwad took his chance.

Cwad still remains to be one of the most interesting characters of my life. A manipulative, psychotic, impulsive force of nature, yet a loyal and unknowingly iconic friend. I don't think I was ready to introduce the force of Cwad to the stability of Michael.

After meeting Mike, getting the rubbles and returning to Robbie to complete the transaction we quickly said our goodbyes and I begrudgingly promised to keep in touch with Callum.

We went home skinned up 4 of the worst doobs Mary Jane had ever cursed this earth with and watched the 5th Harry Potter movie on an illegal website. I hate the movies, I love this one.

Wavey Davey - March 2017

The coolest guy I have ever met. Davey was a hipster, a stoner and on his worst days a student at my school. This guy had a style I could only pretend I was a custom too, I later found it it was a good old charity shop sweep that had adorned him with such clothes. Long flowing ginger hair and dress shoes, this guy was the first kid on the playground you’d associate with the smell of the devil's lettuce. After some chatting and a fortunate seating plan in biology class, I had asked Davey to come over to the flat and share some of that fine fine green with me. Michael, of course, came on through to Filey for such an event. I think we had smoked weed before this point, but never like this. After both of us were late walking to the train station, we met Davey. At this point in time, I was not very close to the guy and Michael had never met him before. We went back to the Flat and got set up. 

We smoked from an apple with a broken lighter. But the euphoria was incredible, laughing till it literally hurt over a lazy town meme. Davey fell asleep, this was the first time I had properly experienced being high and the giggles. I can’t remember much more about that night but Glen was released and I called in sick to work the next day.

Hey bro, this is a long shot.

After heading home after another day at The Coffee Cup I decided to call my friend Michael. See the thing was, I’d been living in Filey on my own for almost 2 years now, holding down a steady Saturday job and attending a school in the next town over, about 11 miles. I told Michael that a job had opened up at The Coffee Cup and that if he had a way of getting to Filey each weekend he could come work with me. Michael had never had a job before and I assume the concept of a constant stream of money is probably why he made the decision to travel 80 miles each weekend to come work over with me. Before long it became a ritual that he would come over for the weekend, work and return home on Sunday night with a pocket full of cash and have had a good weekend chilling with me.

A small one bedroomed flat on the seafront, in an elderly British town in Yorkshire. Two maturing teenagers. One Hamster, One Dog, One Rat, One Car, One Psychopath, One Slut, Several Mistakes and a shit tonne of drugs. No rules and no guidance.

Then came the summer of 2017.
